I especially want to hear from a Color Classic owner who also owns the IIe Card and who has done the high-voltage VGA mod, which changes the refresh to 67Hz. I suspect resolution switching even in that case would work fine, but that isn't something I've tested.

Yes, I don't own any LC machines. I only have a Color Classic Mystic.

But if 560x384 isn't a supported resolution in MacOS, would it even work? Not sure. Maybe not. Mac on Lisa works, I assume, because it is something supported by the Lisa, right? Regardless, we need to know how the resolution switching on the Mac is done in order to know if it's possible to...

No because as 8-bit guy points out, the Mac requires SQUARE pixels and using 560 would not keep them square.

ANSWER: this Apple technical document (Side note: I have the standard VGA mod which retains the 60Hz refresh rate. Not sure what happens if you use the other VGA mod which uses 67Hz.) For even more detailed info, start watching this video until about the 13:00 mark. He shows both the LC and...

It is stable, yes. It looks as perfect with the VGA mod as without. I never tested my machine with the IIe Card in the stock resolution, but when I find screenshots online of the stock resolution CC using the IIe Card, it looks identical to mine with the VGA mod in place. Again, this is...

I am currently filming a new video about the Apple IIe Card in my Color Classic Mystic. As many of you know, I performed the VGA mod on this CC earlier this year, which boost the stock resolution of 512x384 to 640x480. Smaller pixels means everything is smaller, but the upside is you can run...

Moral of the story: Stop being nervous! Get your point across quickly! Had Jobs not crossed paths with that nervous young man in the the lobby, we probably wouldn't have an OS X Dock today (not as we know it). But how many of us get such a lucky second chance. Most of the time, we've got one...

@retr01 I made time to read the original article you linked in its entirety just now... Off the Record: Steve Jobs remembered I highly recommend everyone else read it too. When I came to the end, I couldn't help but think, "What a missed opportunity!" Sure, everything is crystal clear in...

Is an Enhanced Apple IIe compatible with Apple DOS? If not, that would imply some software/images won't work even when used with the FloppyEMU, because again, those floppy images came straight off the SD card sold in the FloppyEMU deluxe package. The intent of the Apple II Card was to allow...

@retr01 Thank you. Until @eric chimes in, I will assume he used either Copy II Plus 8.5, downloaded from your link, or version 9.x of the same, as taken from the FloppyEMU. I must admit this has turned into a somewhat frustrating experience, probably due to my lack of knowledge about the Apple...

Thank you for the reply, Eric. I went through all 3 pages of this thread searching for "eric" and gleaned the following 2 bits of info from you, which state that the FloppyEMU was an integral part of your solution, as well as using "the copy utility on the Apple II"... Post #28 Post #33...

So far, my BlueSCSI tests have ended in failure. Today, I downloaded a 32MB blank ProDOS image from SavageTaylor here. I first tried it with MacSD as a regular disk image, but it wouldn't mount. I then put it inside my Composite folder and found it would mount. I then proceeded to copy files...

I am finding what seems to indeed be an "OS limitation," @eric . I used ShrinkWrap v. 3.5.1 running in System 7.5.5 to create a 32768K image (while the "ProDOS File System" extension was loaded). I specifically told ShrinkWrap to create a ProDOS image (no compression), however, I can confirm...

I have done the same, but for some reason I feel I know the man better than many who have written books about him, despite the fact I've never met him in person. That's probably because I am often greatly misunderstood and end up spending a lot of time fondling the emotions of others so they...

I tested out BlueSCSI just now using only (1) the aforementioned *.raw image and (2) the Total Replay image, both of which mount fine when placed in a MacSD composite folder. (My ZIP file contains both of those.) BlueSCSI log file (for @eric ) is shown below. Interestingly, the Total Replay...

Your counterpoint potentially sparks debate, which as I said, is a good thing. :-) I noticed the phrase "unlimited tolerance" in your Wiki article. I don't preach that, and I have never engaged with anyone who does. I also don't believe that all boundaries need pushing. There is more that...

Sorry for not having adequately clarified earlier. Here's a selective copy/paste from the text description under Ron's great video here... Required Downloads: 1. PRODOS Boot Image (or the PROD bootable image of your choice) https://downloads.reactivemicro.com/A... 2. Total Replay - NOTE...

Apple IIe Card & MacSD Composite 2nd Test

After watching this Recode interview with Jony Ive, Laurene P. Jobs, and Tim Cook about the influence of Steve Jobs, I must say it really does harmonize with what I have long felt about Steve. I highly recommend you give it a complete watch. I especially appreciated the discussion around the...
